Disappointment; cape at mouth of Colum¬

1778, Meares, in the ship Nooika, arrived 
off the cape and found that a “ prodigious 
easterly swell rolled on the shore,” and 
he had soundings in 16 fathoms over a 
hard, sandy bottom. “After we had 
rounded the promontory, a large bay, as 
we had imagined, opened to our view, that 
bore a very promising appearance and 
into which we steered, with every encour¬ 
aging expectation. As we steered into 
the bay the water shoaled to 9, 8, and 7 
fathoms, where breakers were seen right 
ahead, and from the masthead they were 
observed to extend across the bay. We 
therefore hauled out.” The name Cape 
Disappointment was given to the promon¬ 
tory. It was called Cape Hancock by 
Gray in 1792. He changed this name to 
Cape Disappointment upon hearing that 
Meares had so named it. Cape Disap¬ 
pointment retained by Vancouver, by 
Belcher in 1869, and by Ex. Ex. in 1841. 
Duflot do Mofras, 1844, calls it Cape San 
Roque or Disappointment. It was called 
Cape Hancock or Disappointment at the 
first examination of the entrance to the 
river, in 1850, and the name Hancock 
subsequently in a secondary manner in 
the Lighthouse List, but the name Dis¬ 
appointment is that used on the official

Haiti; island and Republic, West Indies. 
(Not Ilayti.) Haiti was the native name 
of the island when Columbus landed, on 
December 6, 1492, and called it Espagnola, 
which was Latinized into Hispaniola. 
The French colony which gained control 
of a part of the island was called Saint 
Domingue, and in 1795, when France ac¬ 
quired title to the entire island by treaty 
with Spain, it was called Saint Domingue ; 
but when the French were driven out and 
independence declared, in 1804, the aborig¬ 
inal name Haiti was revived by the ne¬ 
groes. Shortly after this the Spaniards 
reestablished themselves in the eastern 
part of the island, retaining the French 
name modified to Santo Domingo, but in 
1821 lost control, and from 1822 to 1843 
the whole island was under one Govern¬ 
ment as the Republic of Haiti. In 1844 
the eastern portion of the island again 
asserted its independence of Haiti and 
established the Dominican Republic, which 
remains to the present day. Thus to¬ 
day the island of Haiti, which seems to 
be the proper name, consists of two 
countries, Haiti on the west end and 
Santo Domingo on the east end.—R. C.
